If these technologies are in use, when you access these pages of this Website, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Entrepreneurs Academy or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies.

Such information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” We or the companies and individuals we engage may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.
   • Collection of Personal Information. We collect personal information from you during a transaction made through this Website. We may extract some personal information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.
6. Information Security.
   • Commitment to Online Security. We employ reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. We intend to protect personal information and to maintain its quality. To do this, we implement or partner with companies who use appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information such as billing and payment data.
   • No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. We will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. However, given the nature of communications and information processing technology, there is no guarantee that information will be absolutely safe from access, alteration or destruction by a breach of any of our physical, technical and managerial safeguards.
